Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
There’s no question that the 76ers are in a tough spot here. Being without their 3 best players is a rough situation and they will now have to rely on Tobias Harris to pick up some of the slack. However, the Nets have been very tough to trust this season and it awaits to be seen whether they can get the better of this depleted 76ers team even with Kyrie Irving back. You can bet the Philadelphia fans will be loud for this one and there’s every chance they can help propel their team to an upset.

Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers expert picks
We’ve got 2 standout NBA picks for tonight’s game between the Nets and 76ers.
Nets vs 76ers point spread pick: Nets -7.5 (-115)
his would have been a great matchup if the Philadelphia 76ers were at full strength. But with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and James Harden out due to injury, the Brooklyn Nets will look to take advantage of this matchup. However, we are going to see how Ben Simmons plays in his return to Philly since his infamous playoff run in 2021.
Currently, the Nets are on a 2-game winning streak and are back at full strength with Kyrie Irving back from suspension and Ben Simmons stepping up his level of play. On Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies, Simmons scored a season-high 22 points. As long as he keeps this level of aggression on the offensive end, the Nets would be a very difficult team to beat.
I don’t see who steps up for the 76ers in terms of scoring production. The Nets rank in the top 5 in opponent field goal percentage so it will be difficult for the 76ers especially inside the paint as the Nets also rank in the top 5 in that category as well. In the past 4 games, these two division rivals met up, the Nets have won 3 out of 4 games. This could be a double-digit victory here for the Nets so consider taking them -7.5.
Nets vs 76ers Over/Under totals pick: Under 217.5 (-110)
We all know that the Nets can easily score between 110 to 120 points on any given night. The question at hand is who is going to step up for the 76ers to try and keep it close. The good thing is that Tobias Harris is probable tonight as he was out due to a hip injury. With the Nets defending well, it’ll be a tall task to ask of the 76ers’ role players like De’Anthony Melton and Shake Milton to score 20 to 25 points each.
In the past 4 games, the 76ers and Nets faced each other 3 out of the 4 games went under the total. With questions surrounding the production of the 76ers’ offense, will look to go under 217.
